1. So, my brothers and sisters, those chosen by God to be his holy people think about Jesus. He is the one we believe God sent to save us and to be our high priest.
|
1. Wherefore G3606 , holy G40 brethren G80 , partakers G3353 of the heavenly G2032 calling G2821 , consider G2657 the G3588 Apostle G652 and G2532 High Priest G749 of our G2257 profession G3671 , Christ G5547 Jesus G2424 ;
|
|
2. God made him our high priest, and he was faithful to God just as Moses was. He did everything God wanted him to do in God's house.
|
2. Who was G5607 faithful G4103 to him that appointed G4160 him G846 , as G5613 also G2532 Moses G3475 was faithful in G1722 all G3650 his G846 house G3624 .
|
|
3. When someone builds a house, people will honor the builder more than the house. It is the same with Jesus. He should have more honor than Moses.
|
3. For G1063 this G3778 man was counted worthy G515 of more G4119 glory G1391 than G3844 Moses G3475 , inasmuch G2596 G3745 as he who hath builded G2680 the house G846 hath G2192 more G4119 honor G5092 than the G3588 house G3624 .
|
|
4. Every house is built by someone, but God built everything.
|
4. For G1063 every G3956 house G3624 is builded G2680 by G5259 some G5100 man ; but G1161 he that built G2680 all things G3956 is God G2316 .
|
|
5. Moses was faithful as a servant in God's whole house. He told people what God would say in the future.
|
5. And G2532 Moses G3475 verily G3303 was faithful G4103 in G1722 all G3650 his G846 house G3624 , as G5613 a servant G2324 , for G1519 a testimony G3142 of those things which were to be spoken after G2980 ;
|
|
6. But Christ is faithful in ruling God's house as the Son. And we are God's house, if we remain confident of the great hope we are glad to say we have.
|
6. But G1161 Christ G5547 as G5613 a son G5207 over G1909 his own G848 house G3624 ; whose G3739 house G3624 are G2070 we G2249 , if G1437 G4007 we hold fast G2722 the G3588 confidence G3954 and G2532 the G3588 rejoicing G2745 of the G3588 hope G1680 firm G949 unto G3360 the end G5056 .
|
|
7. So it is just as the Holy Spirit says: "If you hear God's voice today,
|
7. Wherefore G1352 ( as G2531 the G3588 Holy G40 Ghost G4151 saith G3004 , Today G4594 if G1437 ye will hear G191 his G846 voice G5456 ,
|
|
8. don't be stubborn as you were in the past, when you turned against God. That was the day you tested God in the desert.
|
8. Harden G4645 not G3361 your G5216 hearts G2588 , as G5613 in G1722 the G3588 provocation G3894 , in G2596 the G3588 day G2250 of temptation G3986 in G1722 the G3588 wilderness G2048 :
|
|
9. For 40 years in the desert your people saw what I did. But they tested me and my patience.
|
9. When G3757 your G5216 fathers G3962 tempted G3985 me G3165 , proved G1381 me G3165 , and G2532 saw G1492 my G3450 works G2041 forty G5062 years G2094 .
|
|
10. So I was angry with them. I said, 'Their thoughts are always wrong. They have never understood my ways.'
|
10. Wherefore G1352 I was grieved G4360 with that G1565 generation G1074 , and G2532 said G2036 , They do always G104 err G4105 in their heart G2588 ; and G1161 they G846 have not G3756 known G1097 my G3450 ways G3598 .
|
|
11. So I was angry and made a promise: 'They will never enter my place of rest.'"
|
11. So G5613 I swore G3660 in G1722 my G3450 wrath G3709 , They G1487 shall not enter G1525 into G1519 my G3450 rest G2663 .)
|
|
12. So, brothers and sisters, be careful that none of you has the evil thoughts that cause so much doubt that you stop following the living God.
|
12. Take heed G991 , brethren G80 , lest G3379 there be G2071 in G1722 any G5100 of you G5216 an evil G4190 heart G2588 of unbelief G570 , in departing G868 from G575 the living G2198 God G2316 .
|
|
13. But encourage each other every day, while you still have something called "today. " Help each other so that none of you will be fooled by sin and become too hard to change.
|
13. But G235 exhort G3870 one another G1438 daily G2596 G1538 G2250 , while G891 G3757 it G3588 is called G2564 Today G4594 ; lest G3363 any G5100 of G1537 you G5216 be hardened G4645 through the deceitfulness G539 of sin G266 .
|
|
14. We have the honor of sharing in all that Christ has if we continue until the end to have the sure faith we had in the beginning.
|
14. For G1063 we are made G1096 partakers G3353 of Christ G5547 , if G1437 G4007 we hold G2722 the G3588 beginning G746 of our confidence G5287 steadfast G949 unto G3360 the end G5056 ;
|
|
15. That's why the Spirit said, "If you hear God's voice today, don't be stubborn as in the past when you turned against God."
|
15. While it is said G3004 , Today G4594 if G1437 ye will hear G191 his G846 voice G5456 , harden G4645 not G3361 your G5216 hearts G2588 , as G5613 in G1722 the G3588 provocation G3894 .
|
|
16. Who were those who heard God's voice and turned against him? It was all the people Moses led out of Egypt.
|
16. For G1063 some G5100 , when they had heard G191 , did provoke G3893 : howbeit G235 not G3756 all G3956 that came G1831 out of G1537 Egypt G125 by G1223 Moses G3475 .
|
|
17. And who was God angry with for 40 years? He was angry with those who sinned. And their dead bodies were left in the desert.
|
17. But G1161 with whom G5101 was he grieved G4360 forty G5062 years G2094 ? was it not G3780 with them that had sinned G264 , whose G3739 carcasses G2966 fell G4098 in G1722 the G3588 wilderness G2048 ?
|
|
18. And which people was God talking to when he promised that they would never enter his place of rest? He was talking to those who did not obey him.
|
18. And G1161 to whom G5101 swore G3660 he that they should not G3361 enter G1525 into G1519 his G848 rest G2663 , but G1508 to them that believed not G544 ?
|
|
19. So we see that they were not allowed to enter and have God's rest, because they did not believe.
|
19. So G2532 we see G991 that G3754 they could G1410 not G3756 enter in G1525 because G1223 of unbelief G570 .
